The SLO Ranch Market has been temporarily banned from selling alcohol after an employee sold alcohol to a minor during a sting operation in June.
On June 5, a store clerk at SLO Ranch Market was arrested during a minor decoy operation, The Tribune previously reported.
A minor decoy operation is when a person under the age of 21 attempts to purchase alcohol from an establishment at the request of law enforcement, and is instructed to provide their identification if they are carrying it and answer any questions about their age, according to the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s website.
The June incident, which violated state law, is now affecting alcohol sales at the market.
According to a notice posted on the door of the store, SLO Ranch Market’s alcoholic beverage license from the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control was suspended for 15 days starting Feb. 26.
The final day of suspension was listed as March 12.
When the suspension expires, the store can begin selling alcoholic beverages once again with no restrictions, Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control spokesperson Devin Blankenship told The Tribune on Wednesday.
Further violations of the law would likely result in a larger penalty, he said.
The suspension affects only SLO Ranch Market and does not impact other businesses on the premises, Blankenship confirmed.
SLO Ranch Market declined to comment on the suspension.
Anthropic’s CEO admitted receiving a letter from the Defense Department about being labeled a supply chain risk. He said he doesn’t “believe this action is legally sound.”
